  bibo_abstract:
  - Deformation of continuous fibre reinforced plastics during thermally-assisted
    forming or joining processes leads to a change of the initial material structure.
    The load behaviour of composite parts strongly depends on the resultant material
    structure. The prediction of this material structure is a challenging task and
    requires a deep knowledge of the material behaviour above melting temperature
    and the occurring complex forming phenomena. Through this knowledge, the optimisation
    of manufacturing parameters for a more efficient and reproducible process can
    be enabled and are in the focus of many investigations. In the present paper,
    a simplified pultrusion test rig is developed and presented to investigate the
    deformation behaviour of a thermoplastic semi-finished fiber product in a forming
    element. Therefore, different process parameters, like forming element temperature,
    pulling velocity as well as the forming element geometry, are varied. The deformation
    behaviour in the forming zone of the thermoplastic preimpregnated continuous glass
    fibre-reinforced material is investigated by computed tomography and the resultant
    pulling forces are measured. The results clearly show the correlation between
    the forming element temperature and the resulting forces due to a change in the
    viscosity of the thermoplastic matrix and the resulting fiber matrix interaction.
    In addition, the evaluation of the measurement data shows which forming forces
    are required to change the shape of the thermoplastic unidirectional material
    with a rectangular cross-section to a round one.@eng
